Processing may include polishing or the applying of protective plastics which will decrease or increase a sheet s thickness respectively.
Sheet metal gauge size chart gauge or gage sizes are numbers that indicate the thickness of a piece of sheet metal with a higher number referring to a thinner sheet.
Wire gauge is a measure for the size of a wire either in diameter or in cross sectional area.
Sheet metal thickness is denoted by gauge sometimes spelled gage which indicates a standard thickness before processing.

The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.
For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
